Nagoya: South Korea has ensured at least bronze medals in both the men's and women's team events in soft tennis at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Both the men's and women's teams progressed to the semifinals on Friday at the Higashiyama Park Tennis Center in Nagoya, thereby guaranteeing themselves a spot on the podium as there are no bronze medal matches in soft tennis; both losing semifinalists are awarded bronze medals.
According to Yonhap News Agency, these achievements mark the first medals for South Korea at this year's Asian Games. The South Korean teams are set to compete against Chinese Taipei in the semifinals on Sunday, which is also the day scheduled for the finals, following the opening ceremony.
